COURTESY POST, we do not have these adolescents. If you are interested in any of these kittens the owner’s name and number will be in the comments.
These kittens have NOT had vetting at all. Please contact the owner for more information.

02/28/2025

If you are thinking about possibly surrendering a litter of kittens you need to let us know before they are 8 weeks old or younger so we can plan to potentially take them, you must schedule an appointment to have mom’s fixed or we will NOT take the kittens. Due to limited space, clinic appointments and people we CAN NOT make any promises. The sooner we know the better.
Thank you for understanding.

Good afternoon everyone! We have some beautiful adults heading up to Feeders this coming week so if you're interested be sure to get an application in!

On the left we have the beautiful tortoiseshell Lanie! And on the right is the sweet Mandy! Please read below for their information!

Both are spayed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped, and have had parasite prevention.

Lanie is a very sweet, confident and outgoing girl! She is about 1 year old. She has an instant purr and will crawl right into your arms for love and playtime. She is good with dogs and other cats.

This is Mandy she is 2-3 years old. She is a quiet and reserved kitty but super loving. She just wants to sit with her person and be loved up. She does okay with other cats, but is not terribly fond of dogs. She does like her own space.

Hello GAIN supporters! Today we would like to do something a little different. This is Capone a former GAIN cat. He's now living his best life in his new home. Can we see pictures of your GAIN kitties in their homes? We would love to see them and if you include their former name their fosters may recognize them!

Check out the comments as we'll be adding a few foster "fails" over the years!

Gratiot Animals In Need (G.A.I.N.) would love to thank the Edward and Carol Hooper Donor Advised Fund. We received a $1000 grant to help with our TNR program through the Gratiot County Community Foundation, this is going to be extremely helpful in controlling the free roaming colonies of Gratiot County.

Once again we can't do what we do without the generous support and donations from the community, thank you.
